Lol yah, thats about normal, I know guys like GSP put on about 17 between weigh ins and the fight. After you get all the fluid back in you and get a few meals under your belt its not that hard to put on the weight again considering everything you lose is from not eating/clearing your intestines and shedding water weight.

Well I thought I better close this thread out. I started this to give a window into a little bit of what a fighter goes through to make weight. I didn't know if it would be well recieved or just kind of swept to the side.

Last night as most of you know, and some of you watched, I fought last night. While it didn't go the way I wanted it to (I wanted to finish him) I still got the win by Unanimous Decision and it was a dominating victory. What most don't know was I for some reason got sick around noon yesterday and was vomitting and had diarrhea yesterday (I know a little to much info but oh well) I was not feeling well at all come fight time but you suck it up and march on, and thats what I did. I missed some openings in the fight, and I probably could of armbarred him in the 3rd round but thats how the ball bounces sometimes.

In closing I wanna thank everyone who read this, and hopefully there was some good info in here that some of you guys can use when you have to make weight for a fight.

I think it's the dehydrating and rapid rehydrating. I get diarrhea around lunc every fight day. Not puking though, but lot's of guys do. I guess it's just part of the process. It does suck when you realize halfway through the second round that you have to s--- like a butt-raped racehorse...but then again it's also motivation to finish, lol.

If you are weighing in day of the fight, you don't want to dehydrate yourself. How long are weigh ins before you fight, do you weigh in right before or is there a few hours. Your best bet is to lower your caloric intake and do some running, or another type of cardio for a few days before, make sure you give yourself time to rest so your not sore for your fight. the day before you fight have your last mean around 6 or 7, keep it light. Don't drink anything after 8 or 9, and don't drink anything when you wake up. You are always losing water weight through breathing and urinating. hopefully if you just keep your diet clean and healthy the next few days, cut down the calories as you get closer you should be able to make your weight. I wrestled my whole life and had to make weight same day for tournaments and the weigh ins were usually 1 to 2 hours before it satarted so you could get some water and a light meal in before hand.

ArtofDefense, yah I know that the dehydration and rehydration can cause diarrhea, it just had never happened to me before, maybe it is because I hadn't cut weight in almost a year, who knows but the puking thing was really throwing me off, still don't know what happened there.
